Orchestral Music
Eberhard’s Shadow of the Swan, a piano concerto originally conceived for the Russian pianist Halida Dinova, became, under the influence of a poem by Yevtushenko, a reaction to the disaster of the Russian submarine Kursk. His Prometheus Wept began as a commemoration of the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and incorporates the Russian liturgical chant of a passage from the Book of Revelations, extending the human references of the work into a still wider context.
